Meeting with Assessor Leadership

The Cook County Assessor’s Office is dedicated to providing information to the public. Meetings with Assessor Leadership will be held for property owners or their representatives who would like to discuss appeal results or seek clarification regarding their assessment. During the meeting we will be available to discuss topics of procedural issues, while prepared to discuss general policy and specific property valuations. Meetings with Assessor Leadership will be held every Thursday from 9 AM to noon. These meetings will allow the requestor to meet at least two Senior Staff of the Cook County Assessor’s Administration to discuss their case. Anyone interested in requesting a meeting must do so through email by close of business day on Monday. Requestors will be notified by email if their request was granted or denied. The Cook County Assessor’s Office reserves the right to deny a meeting where a previous meeting was conducted or the applicant did not follow the appeal rules. Priority will be given to property owners who wish to discuss the appeal or assessment of their property.

Meetings with Assessor Leadership will officially begin the week of January 6th. For those who submitted a request this week, those submissions will be reviewed on Monday, January 6th. If granted, the meeting will be held on January 9th between 9 AM to 12 PM.
